“One boat capsized and then the other boat came back to help them and then also capsized,” Hughes said.
It is unclear why the boats capsized, but Hughes said he doesn’t believe they collided with each other.
Five people were taken to St. Peter’s Health and a male died at the scene.
Hughes said the coroner’s office will determine the exact cause of death, and an investigation will be carried out by Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks.
